    Storyline

    Edit
    Believing that Nessa was killed by an Israeli-backed terrorist group the American government prepares to accept Palestine as a sovereign state and Julia Walsh accuses Palestinian sympathizer Monica of helping to engineer this, using Nessa as a pawn. Nessa comes to in a house with Kasim and rings Shlomo to announce that she is alive. Acting on the call Hayden-Hoyle persuades Atika, who was aware of, and part of, the plot that she owes it to Nessa to rescue her, which she does, killing the father of Al-Zahid, who ordered her rape and her family's murders. Though mortally wounded Atika helps Nessa and Kasim escape to Israel and back to England, where they visit Rachel and her new-born baby. —don @ minifie-1

      As Nessa gets to her feet after surviving the explosion, we see that her slacks have a large hole exposing her right buttock. Later on she kicks up a fuss while she is forcibly returned to her room/cell. During the ruckus we see that her wardrobe malfunction has been corrected.
